| North Carolina, with very few exceptions (e.g. the Falls Lake and the Kerr Lake State Recreation Areas), has stressed the 'back to nature' theme in camping. Most have pads for tents and have nearby water and toilets. Some have shower facilities and a few have dump stations. Camping sites are almost always very tastefully located, usually under pleasant shade trees. Parks are all very well maintained and there are usually rangers on site to help out however possible. They are well trained and excellent hosts. | Modest fees are charged for park use and registration is required for camping. While many are first-come, first-served, it doesn't hurt to call for reservations. In the summer months, one week is considered the expected stay with a two-week maximum. In the spring and fall weekend stays are usually permitted but in the Western Mountains the parks are usually filled to capacity during the 'leaf looking' season. Policies vary from park to park so it is best to phone and get the current information. (back to TOP of page) |
